Saturday, April 4, 2009 - Friday we spent most of the day packing everything in the house in order to move Saturday and Sunday. So Saturday night after round #1 of moving, everyone showed up at our friend Peter's house to give us a going-away party - Brazilian style. Just about everyone I could ever remember meeting in Portland was there; what a blast. Good people, good food, good music, good drinks, good swingset.
I must say, I only lived in Portland for about a year and a half, but I was surprised at how much harder it was to leave than I thought it'd be. I guess I'd never realized how many friends I'd made there until they all started trying to convince us not to leave. Friends for life, for sure. But, Portland will always be there, and, once we jump the atlantic and hit european soil, we will likely remember why it was we left.. A once in a lifetime opportunity.
